Thought people might be interested in this article. One thing that strikes me is the 'reducing women to their biology' argument. Don't transwomen 'know' they're not male because their body feels wrong? Then it is about biology isn't it? Otherwise why do they think they're female?

Brilliant, Womanpeople.

To the tune of Jolene, by Dolly Parton:

Justine, Justine, Justine, Justine
I'm begging of you please don't call me 'man'
Justine, Justine, Justine, Justine,
Please don't do it just because you can

Your status is beyond compare
With debate allowed where none will dare
Talk of facts and logic is so mean
Your site is worse than Nuremberg
Your language is emoji-TERF
And I cannot compete with you, Justine

Justine, Justine, Justine, Justine
I'm begging of you please don't call me 'man'
Justine, Justine, Justine, Justine,
Please don't do it just because you can

Oh I have to watch it. It is a fantastic film.

Ereshkigal · 08/12/2018 23:32

I think Silence of the Lambs is on C5 over Christmas. Given its perfect portrayal of AGP (not talking about the murders here) I wasn't sure if they would ever show it again!

A post that got lost in all the merriment about Toxic Hotbeds and secret codes was this one from the morning:

mirandayardley

That they’re monitoring Mumsnet just shows how little self-awareness they all have. Their own online groups and websites reveal their misogyny, homophobia, outright hate for women and of course are packed with all that autogynephilia that apparently doesn’t exist.

The Facebook group ‘trans rights UK’ is where they coordinate attacks on women individually and women’s grouos. There are other discussion boards like Angels, Susan’s Place and Crossdreamers.

All these places show clearly the transgender community does not support women.

I had the displeasure of looking at Crossdreamers and it gave me the bloody heeby-jeebies. Some of the voyeurism, envy and crazy talk makes them seem not miles away from Jame Gum from Silence of the Lambs. Not the kind of people women should feel at ease around.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 08/12/2018 22:56

And i missed about 10 of the pages of the hotbed thread i was looking at

I tried to catch up but to be honest I didn't see the point...it was virtually the same posts!

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 08/12/2018 22:54

Did you miss the decoder thread Rufus?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 08/12/2018 22:48
